The names in Square's flagship series are usually more than just random syllables. Many of them have histories and backgrounds, either in linguistics or mythology, from diverse cultures, both ancient and pop.

Sending in Name Origins: Everyone's encouraged to e-mail us any additions or corrections we don't have! However, if we consider your idea to be either too obvious or too farfetched, I won't add it (a good percent of ideas do get in, though!) Please include your source as well ("I think I heard about it" is not a source). If a name is a word in a foreign language, please tell me which language.
